Bloom's+Digital+Taxonomy

In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his original taxonomy of cognitive objectives, Forty years later a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson, revised his Taxonomy. The major difference between bloom's original taxonomy and this Revised Taxonomy is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the Bloom's six categories.Lorin also rearrangedf the sequence within the taxonomy.

In an online article published in April 1, 2008, Andrew Churches ( [] ) set out to "//address the new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of Information and Communication Technologies into the classroom and the lives of our students//." Simply put he added verbs based around the use of digital technologies.
